“Why do you want to go to France?”
“I want to buy bread.”

Such a pure answer

It's amusing to me as an American living in Japan that the things these women say they envy about foreign women are things that I envy about Japanese women. They always look fashionable, beautiful, and put together. They are actually the ones with attractive features who don't need to wear makeup, yet always look lovely regardless. I guess it's just further proof that all women want what they don't have and see the grass as greener on the other side.

What I love about Takashii is that he never judges or disapproves any opinion. He takes them as it is. Great work! :)

I´m (female) from Europe and when I first visit Tokyo two decades ago, I felt really bad about my looks. All the girls looked so pretty, delicate and cute and the men were all so handsome and confident. It´s interesting because I always felt Japanese girls don´t even have to wear make up and their hair looks always so smooth and nice. No matter what style they wear they always look pretty and on point. It appeared like everyone was always dressed for the coolest party or event. I remember me and my friends would take hours looking over magazines - fruits was basically our bible - about street fashion and idols and thinking we would never be as cool and pretty. I also admire the awareness and discipline of the Japanese people in daily life. I still use the habits I picked up back then. However, when it comes to having a fun night out with friends, going for drinks or just being carefree, talking about life and generally goofing around...I´d say westerns are often more honest and confident.

While it may seem to the Japanese that us Americans are confident and carefree, it's not entirely true. What appears as a confident, "cool clothes wearing blonde person" is some times a person who's just as nervous or worried about there looks as any other person. For all the negative stereotypes about suicide in Japan, the rate is actually higher here in the US. It's usually connected to money problems or their self worth sadly.
Anyway, as an American what I envy about the Japanese is the politeness and the cleanliness. Both countries have good things to offer though!

I envy anyone who can speak both English and Japanese or Chinese 😊

[yourdetunedradio]

Heartbreaking. Those girls look just like models. Perfect style, perfect hair, makeup and face structure. I wish them all self confidence. We all should cherish our own unique looks

[rafak.]

Is it me or Japanese people are so hard on themselves? They look so nice, seem to be very friendly, cooperative and organized. Many foreigners could learn from them. ☺️

[viciousoz]

Japanese people just need to be more confident and embrace their individuality. I think it’s really important to not care what others think, but that obviously doesn’t mean to not be considerate of others.

[smexyNiallHoran]

I was surprised that they mentioned facial features so often as enviable because as an american I think japanese softer features are so pretty and their hair seems soft and shiny. I agree the grass does always seem greener on the other side. As other people mentioned I do admire the politeness and cleanliness and discipline but I do think the loosness americans have can be more fun. Theres pluses and minuses in all cultures because we can be too loose and crazy too lol

[middleclassic]

I’m 59, from Los Angeles and on most Takashii videos I always find it surprising and frankly odd that Japanese women … and men too, when asked about foreigners they seem to focus on facial features, or the way people look or dress, or something like the perceived confidence those people have. Things that could be considered superficial as opposed to being envious about a trait that is more sensible or grounded. I do realize he is interviewing young people mostly so the answers given will reflect that younger probably more naive attitude. I’d really like to see interviews with people at least 10 years older and see if and how those answers might contrast. In fact I’d like that on ALL of Takashii’s videos.

As an American girl, we think that Japanese women are so beautiful! Their beautiful skin, hair, and eyes, they are just so pretty ❤ And their sweet, humble personality makes them beautiful as well💕

[keithtorgersen]

Takashii-san, many people who seem like they’re having a lot of fun are still going through tough times, but they have decided not to let hard circumstances dominate how they feel about their lives.


Also, the first girl who said she was envious of foreigners’ hair styles, has great hair herself.

Edit- thanks for the likes

I'm an Australian, and what I envy about Japanese people and their cultures are their simplicity, discipline and grace! Plus, the tranquillity of tea ceremonies and overall atmosphere is lovely! :D

Something I envy about the Japanese is the language. I don't speak Japanese but what little I have learned from being obsessed with Japanese media, I learned that Japanese is extremely expressive in a very specific way. There are multiple ways to say the same saying most of the time, and the different saying could have a different meaning to those words, like an angry connotation or trying to imply that something is dumb. I have always found it fascinating because I do notice that even when its subtitled, the difference between Subs and Dubs can be massive. Certain scenes have an entirely different context when spoken in Japanese vs in English. I guess im gonna try to learn Japanese now!

The grass is always greener on the other side.

Most of the things the interviewed envy about foreign countries are reasons I prefer Japan. For example people doing whatever they want means that you may have to deal with noisy neighbors, and people not caring about what they wear means that you may see something you really dislike while doing outside activities

[Toddis]

As an American I can say with confidence that most everyone Does care what people think about them, and how they look

I think most people around the world are very similar

I spent several vacations in Japan, 2 to 4 weeks at a time. I felt inspired every visit and I think I could travel there to the end of my days and still be amazed every time. Sadly, I have now family and kids and can't do such lengthy travelling anymore. We have quite many Japanese tourists in our little country in the heart of Europe and I hope that they feel at least half as inspired as I was in Japan!

[davoty]

I spent a year in Japan teaching conversational English for NOVA. I remember how safe and friendly everyone was you could walk in the park at 3am perfectly safe. I love the country I felt like I was on vacation the whole time.

[rileymosman]

You ask the greatest followup questions! I feel like you already know the answer before you ask but it helps to have them explain the culture and feelings in Japan very candidly.

Or even just little things like "what do you want to do in Hawaii?" Helps to give your audience a better idea of her feelings but it's also just charming, you're taking an interest in them and just genuinely want to know what they think
